Absolutely! We went out for dinner last night and was excited to on our way home and get into bed. Fell asleep cuddling before 12 lolI find the ‘romance’ comes and goes, we are really happy but not always being romantic, we are happy to just be together sitting on the sofa watching shit tv!
We’ve been together almost 15 years and have 2 kids (7&10)
It's hard to have sex when your body isn't responding...I think it’s important to try to always show you care and appreciate the other person. No matter how small the gesture they can mount up and help out a lot in every day life.
Also have sex even if you are too tired or ill as it keeps that closeness there. Hardest part is coming to terms with the fact (all going well) this is the only person you will be having sex with for the rest of your life. So keeping things fresh and exciting forever is a tough ask so make sure to compromise wherever you can and always cater for your partners needs as well as your own. You can’t be selfish if you expect this person to stay with you forever.

I’ll be dammed if I have sex when I’m unwell. I’ve been unwell today, my other half has done most of the housework and played with our child while I couldn’t. I fell in love with him for a lot of reasons, not for his dick or sex everyday of my life. If you get to a stage in a relationship where you feel like you have to have sex, that relationship needs to end. That’s so unhealthy and very unrealistic expectations!I think it’s important to try to always show you care and appreciate the other person.

Don't be so selfish! Poor guy has been working all day and needs that closeness even though you feel like shit.I’ll be dammed if I have sex when I’m unwell.

Having sex when you’re tired or ill isn’t going to do anything to create a fulfilling sex life, it’s going to make it dull and monotonous because you can’t really be arsed and who wants half arsed sex?Also have sex even if you are too tired or ill as it keeps that closeness there.

That’s something different entirely of course.It's hard to have sex when your body isn't responding...
Of course not and many get by without it but thread creator asked how WE keep the spark alive.Sex isnt the be all and end all.
Didn’t state illness was either way why assume it’s always one sided? My wife and I have an active sex life and she’s the one that doesn’t stop even when she’s ill even though I’ve told her to slow down and go to sleep. She definitely wouldn’t take me being ill as an excuse to turn it down if she wanted it either that’s for sure. On many occasion she’s gave it me in the neck for (in her eyes) turning her down when I believe she’s not well enough.Don't be so selfish!

That was a joke, BTW before anyone gets upset. Hope you feel better soon, @Bec3007
After 12 years and 3 kids I would take any and all sex over none.Having sex when you’re tired or ill isn’t going to do anything to create a fulfilling sex life, it’s going to make it dull and monotonous because you can’t really be arsed and who wants half arsed sex?
I think your initial post came across like you were saying to force yourself to have sex even if you're too ill. Perhaps that's not what you meant....That’s something different entirely of course.
